Anti-piracy by high technology

While pirates are increasingly taking advantage of modern technology, experts think of ways to deal with them effectively and limit casualties.

Pirates are a threat to the sea, especially in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. While NATO and Russian warships . participate in the common maritime safety mission, not every time the navies of the countries are everywhere. Therefore, ships specializing in dangerous waters must equip themselves to protect themselves from near dangers. And in that market the supply of these vehicles is gaining momentum. Many military contractors and manufacturers race to build all the equipment needed to serve customers.

A company, called the International Maritime Security System, is offering an expensive defense package called the anti-piracy triton system . The mixed product will include everything from ship security personnel, special camcorder systems, and even putting up an extremely stinking water wall, according to Bloomberg. Ralph Pundt, the company's expert, described the odor of water that can match a skunk that is 'flushing'.

Laser beams can also be used to fight pirates. In early 2011, the British military contractor, the BAE System, announced that it had successfully deployed anti-piracy lasers. Accordingly, the system uses non-eye lasers to warn pirates that are more than 2km away, or can use this beam to disturb the attacker at close range. Ships can operate this system semi-automatically, or assign sailors to control manually.

International BCB producer (UK) presents a anti-pirate cannon, called Buccaneer. This weapon is designed to fire a net around any ship trying to reach. The range of the Buccaneer is 800m wider. In addition, Buccaneer also released smoke-spray bullets with a range of 700m, creating the initiative for owners in case of encountering pirates. Another equally effective weapon is LRAD , which creates a sound wall that emits at frequencies that people can't stand. This is a product of LRAD Company, based in San Diego (USA). Expected new anti-piracy devices will be introduced at the 2012 Traffic Security Conference, held in London in November.
